6th to 10th June
We have started a new unit in our English work this week. The focus is persuasive writing. We have started this by thinking about fact and opinion and writing factual accounts to compare with those using value-laden adjectives.
In maths, our work has covered imperial units of measurement and converting between these and their metric equivalents. So, we have been converting between yards, feet and metres; gallons, pints and litres; stones, pounds, ounces and kilograms and miles and kilometres. We have also done some multiplication, including long multiplication and long multiplication involving decimal numbers.
In addition to our Spanish, music, PE and swimming sessions, we did some PHSE work (thinking about our rights and responsibilities in different areas of our lives) and we finished the week with some art. We explored the kinds of marks that can be made with a chisel brush and then painted some plants - pot plants and wild flowers.
